True.

But did you notice that the Supermicro comes with a redudant power supply?

I wouldn't care about your concerns "close to the minimum requirements" here.

As long as the machine didn't need an extra graphic card or any other "power
hungry" devices, everything seems to be fine to me.

Experience with SuperMicro:

The customer of the company I'm working for, is sharing a test rack with
us. There is a SuperMicro rackmount WIO model built-in, running an
outdated Linux system. It's running flawless since years now.

Except the fact that the fans are a bit noisy, we are deeply contented
with this machine.

Best regards,
	Klaus.
